Protein pill trial aims to soften Teens' stiff arteries
NCT ID NCT04128969
Summary
This study is testing whether a protein supplement called carnitine can reduce artery stiffness in teenagers who are at risk for future heart problems. Researchers will give carnitine or a placebo to 90 teens with high triglycerides for six months to see if it improves artery health. The goal is to find a safe way to prevent artery hardening early in life, which could lower heart disease risk later on.
